At this rate Shirou figures he might as well go home and talk to Saber. It would take about 15 minutes by bus. Now that it ocurred to him, he didn't make breakfast this morning with everything that had happened. "Shit, Saber is going to be pissed." Not only her, but Fuji-nee and Ilya probably arrived while he was gone too. Thankfully there was still time to make it up to them.

Shirou gets off the bus and starts to walk towards the food stores. Saber and the others should forgive him if he buys them a nice treat.

"Thanks a lot Mitsuzuri."

"Come again Emiya!" She bows politely as he walks out the store with a bag filled with sweet bread.

Seems like she got a job working a the bread store Shirou frequents. Well she is a cute girl, albeit a bit tomboyish much like a certain other girl you know. She did look pretty good in that store apron though.

"Shirou!" His name was called as soon as he entered the house and before he knew it there was a small girl with long white hair hanging off of his neck.

"Morning Ilya." Shirou peels her off of him and sets her on the ground.

"Shirou where have you been? Sakura made breakfast all by herself." Ilya frowns at him.

"Sorry about that, I had some things I had to take care of early this morning."

"Is that Shirou?" Fuji-nee's voice called from the living room. She got up and trotted over to him. "You shouldn't just leave Sakura-chan like that." She shakes her finger at him.

Shirou shrugs. "Sakura's a big girl, she can handle herself every once in awhile." It didn't seem like Rider has moved much since he left, or she went back into the exact same position after breakfast. Either way she was spread out on the couch right where he'd left her. "Has Rin been by yet?" He asks Fuji-nee.

"No I haven't seen her."

"Well whatever. Where's Saber?" Shirou asks her again.

"Saber is around here somewhere. She's been walking around the house looking for something all morning." Sakura said as she walked out of the kitchen.

"That means Shirou is free to play with me!" Ilya said with great enthusiasm as she jumps on him and hugs his neck again.

"Whoa whoa, don't get ahead of yourself kiddo." Shirou pulls the reluctant loli off of him and set her on the ground again.

"Awww why?" She complains and looks up at him with big puppy dog eyes.

"Onii-chan has something important to talk to Saber about. But I'm sure Fuji-nee would love to play with you." Shirou says as he pats Ilya on the head.

"You know I'm older than you right?" Ilya pouts as Shirou walks by her and goes into the side hallway passed the dining room where Fuji-nee sits munching on crackers.

"I got some sweet bread for lunch, so don't spoil your appetite with that." Shirou says and grabs a cracker out of Fuji-nee's fingers and tosses it into his mouth.

"Hey, I was going to eat that!" She calls after him.

Saber is probably in her room. Luckily it's right next to Shirou's so he doesn't have to walk too far.

He knocks a couple times. "Saber, you in there?"

"Oh." Shirou hears a faint voice from inside followed by a lot of rustling around. "Is that you Shirou?" Saber's voice came from inside the room.

"No, it's the other guy that lives here. Yes it's me. Can I come in?"

"Yes, just a moment." Shirou then hears the sound of more objects rustling around before the door to Saber's room slides open and she's soon standing in front of him. "Please come in."

"Whoa, you really tore this place up." As he steps inside Saber's room Shirou sees that her normally spotless floor is covered with all manner of clothes and other things were strewn about haphazzardly.

"I am sorry about the mess. I am still unable to find my lion even though I have been looking for it all morning." Saber hung her head sadly.
